Hidden Costs to Watch Out For
Tolls: The King Fahd Causeway toll is 25 SAR (or 2.5 BHD) each way. Most reputable companies exclude this from the base fare unless specified, or add it as a transparent surcharge.
Visas: Your taxi driver cannot process your visa. You must pay for your Visa on Arrival (approx 5-15 BHD) at the border, or have a valid eVisa.
Why Choose a Private Car over the Bus (SAPTCO)?
While the SAPTCO bus is cheaper (approx 60-100 SAR), a private taxi offers significant advantages:
- ✅ Speed: A private car clears customs much faster. You don't wait for 40 other passengers.
- ✅ Door-to-Door: You aren't dropped at a bus station; you go straight to your hotel or meeting.
- ✅ Privacy: Work, make calls, or relax in a silent cabin.
